As part of the Division of Public Safety, the Office of Emergency Management (OEM) coordinates emergency preparedness, response, and recovery activities. Using an all-hazard approach, we’re responsible for the development, implementation, training and review of UConn’s Emergency Operations Plan. The Office of Emergency Management coordinates preparedness efforts and emergency training of staff, faculty, and students across every UConn campus.
OEM is committed to your safety and providing you the resources you need to be UConn Ready. We encourage everyone to take a few moments to familiarize yourself with the resources at oem.uconn.edu, including Hazard Guides and emergency terminology. Based on federal emergency preparedness guidelines, these guides offer practical information for our UConn community.
Faculty and staff should sign up for UConn Alert and make sure that your information is current and accurate (UConn students are automatically enrolled). In the event of an emergency, the UConn Alert system will be activated, including the use of text messages, social media, email, and updated information on alert.uconn.edu.
